Teens

Calling all teen artists, poets, and scholars: come share your drawings, sketches, poems, stories... anything. We will meet in the Teen Lounge and share our art and the art of others. Bring your sketchbooks, journals, and your own coffee mug and we'll fill it with decaf coffee, tea, hot chocolate, or apple cider. Sponsored by the Friends of the Southeast Branch Library.

No fooling – you can bake a cake in a mug. Don’t believe us? Bring a mug and we’ll show you how it’s done. Teens (Age 11-18) are welcome to this program, sponsored by the Friends of the Southeast Branch Library.
